Common Questions About Honda EVs

With the Honda team having an aggressive goal to eliminate all of the brand's tailpipe emissions in North America by 2024, it's reasonable to expect the introduction of a Honda EV in our lineup regularly in the years to come. Given the success of the Honda Prologue EV, that's great news for eco-conscious drivers and automotive enthusiasts in general. To better understand why EVs represent the future, contact Gillman Honda San Benito with any questions you might have.

Compared to a gas-only vehicle, how does an EV handle the road?

Electric vehicles deliver instant torque when you step on the accelerator, which generally allows them to accelerate faster than automobiles powered solely by an internal combustion engine.
EVs are normally more responsive than ICE-driven cars, and the ride is typically quieter and smoother. Since they don't release emissions, EVs offer a "cleaner" experience behind the wheel.

Is the cost of owning an EV lower than owning a traditional car?

When you look through the new Honda models in our showroom, you might wonder how the cost of owning an EV differs from the cost of owning a conventional automobile. While EVs may cost more than comparable gas-powered cars initially, lower maintenance costs and fuel expenses offset the higher upfront costs over time. For example, it typically costs just one-third of what it costs to maintain a gas-powered vehicle to maintain an EV.

Can I charge a Honda EV at a public charging station?

Honda EV owners have nationwide access to more than 90 percent of America's DC Fast Charging networks. By 2030, Honda EV owners and lessees will have access to a forecasted 100,000 DC Charging points located throughout the United States. Use the Honda app to find the nearest one.

What should I do if I don't have easy access to a DC Fast Charger?

If you don't have immediate access to a public charging station, you can charge your Honda EV at home. You'll need to have a Level 2 charging station installed and, possibly, a dedicated 240-volt outlet. It's wise to bypass other charging stations in favor of a Honda-approved one like the Honda Connected Charge Station.

Are there any incentives to purchase a Honda EV in San Benito, TX?

Depending on various factors, such as an EV's price, you may qualify for a federal tax credit for purchasing or leasing an EV like the Honda Prologue. Some states offer their own incentives as well. To see if you're eligible for an incentive, visit our San Benito, TX Honda finance center.
